Gina Chase built shelter, filtered water while lost in Colorado after seeing people do it on television

Who says watching reality television is a waste of time? Not Keeping Up With the Kardashians -- think Alive and Naked and Afraid, two of the programs that Gina Chase now credits for helping to keep her alive. The 53-year-old Canadian went missing for nearly four days during a spiritual retreat in southwest Colorado last month while on a solo hike, and the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office now says in a report that she shouldn't have gone out alone, as she didn't have rudimentary navigation skills and wasn't prepared for emergencies by her guides at the Animas Valley Institute, per CBS News. But Chase, who was lost with just a whistle, water bottle, space blanket, and some matches, was apparently more prepared than many knew.
